Effect of Jeevamrutha and Panchagavya on Growth, Yield and Microbial Population of French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)

Treatment combinations includes four jeevamrutha levels (0, 1000, 1500 and 2000 l ha⁻¹) and three panchagavya levels (0, 3 and 6%). Application of higher levels of jeevamrutha (2000 l ha⁻¹) and panchagavya (6%) recorded significantly higher plant height (27.26 and 26.74 cm), No of branches (6.64 and 6.13), leaf area (1181.26 and 1136.6 cm²), pods per plant (15.36 and 14.69 g) and green pod yield (134.3 and 124.4 q ha⁻¹) followed by jeevamrutha at 1500 litres per ha and 1000 l ha⁻¹application (115.0 and 106.7 q ha⁻¹) and panchagavya at 3 per cent (116.0 q ha⁻¹). Significantly lower growth andgreen pod yield were found in without panchagavya (101.4 qha⁻¹) and without jeevamrutha application. The lower growth and french bean yield was recorded in without jeevamrutha and panchagavya application (83.0 q ha^{1). Application of jeevamrutha and panchagavya resulted in significantly higher microbial population as compared to without jeevamrutha and without panchagavya application.}
